Definitely more videos with Masa, you can tell he knows his stuff.
Agreed! I kinda miss Joel....his acoustic stuff, but this guy is great.
I like how Masa cuts through the bs and gets straight to the point about these guitars 👍
you mean Norms BS?
Every time Masa finds something possibly not right Norman talks him out of it, buying these old guitars is a mind field.
This video is pure art. Such a pleasure to see a master like Masa at work, so much knowledge in a 10 minutes video
Masa, an extraordinary guitar technician. He even has Jenn's tag line down!!
Byee!!!!
Masa knows his onions!
This is one of my favorite videos. To know that they dig deep to find out what & all that's goin on with an expensive instrument
What a blessing having Masa!
Wish I knew the things Masa forgot about guitars the man is a legend and should be in a hall of fame . I wish we had Masa lessons too teach all us guitar nerds more . Love these videos and all of Norms videos
That kind of a thick sunburst finish could be seen on Clapton's Brownie
1:53 He can start a career as a tuner, that was spot on
Masa and his experience and expertise definitely come through when he is in these videos. Might be a good idea to have more of him.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! I'd love to see more videos with Masa where you inspect vintage guitars and basses for authenticity.
Normans staff is top notch, I'm always impressed.
More of these please.
I like how Masa did Jen's trademark Byeeeee at the end. Haha! We love that Jen!
Hi Masa! 🇯🇵
Masa ❤
A pleasure to see, guitars are fantastic inside and out. These videos are great 👍
Ahh sweet, thanks for checkin out my new strat for me guys! When are you shipping it out 😉
that nice lady may gift this one to lemmo, u better get a squire.
If the router blade was somewhat dull it would have a tendency to rip through the wood instead of cutting it out clean, that might explain why wood filler was used, to fill small voids..
Awesome! More of these!
more of this kind of stuff please Norm
That was cool I'd like to see more of that
I love the 56 stratocaster 😍
Master Masa. Very knowledgeable. Also I want to hear him say "Knowledgeable"
More Masa-san videos please!
Masa and Norm are smart guys. Love the byyyy
we need to see a fender masacaster!!!!
Awesome, more like this please!
Nice to see how you find out if its original
Thought i was a guitar geek ..... Wow , MASA the MAN ....
⚓️ Thanks Masa, Norm 😎
These videos ar very very cool! Love the iSight into the vintage instruments
This needs to be a regular feature. Keep the videos simple, but what the team in back does every day has to be interesting given what they work on. They don't need Norm, although it's understandable why Norm is involved with this one. Assuming Lemmo demoed this one today- it sounded great. We see Norm bring them in, and we see them with Lemmo when they are ready for sale, so why not fill in the gap?
By the look of the neck wear and the fact it has new frets and nut it probably means this guitar played and sounded amazing soo ok it got played a lot which is a good sign.
Thanks for Sharing 💫

Did the 50's Strats not have the paint stick mark where the body was originally sprayed in the neck pocket? This one does not have that mark. Please let me know . Thanks!
Polishing compound?
Could it have been polished with some with some commandant 4or5 compound some time in it's lifetime.
That stuff is pinkish paste.
More Masa!
When did fender start using the old style cts pots?
Masa rules
Norm trying to squeeze out the last maximum cent possible out of that guitar lol
I mean yeah but that's why he owns a successful vintage guitar shop and we don't.
Actually he is reducing the value by pointing out all these mostly meaningless flaws. He’s knows exactly what the guitar should sell for and he’s going to make his money.
As any smart business person should.
Yea it's called running a business.
@@rickjason215 If he would not his business would get bad reputation for not as described vintage stuff so in the end it's a win to be honest by this..
I've seen this before Jen! Are you slipping girl! I wish you would do some My experiences at Norm's that made your day. With you talking to the Camera!!!!!!!! That would be something I would watch.
Information!!!...goooood.

I recently played a vintage 60/61 strat and it was fine, but I came away thinking either those guitars really aren't worth the crazy money, or my 2002 MIM 60s reissue was a home run that Fender should be really proud of. I've known other players with Fenders from 2002 in Mexico that would agree. They were doing something right then. The only thing I ever hated about my mim strat was the polyurethane and I got rid of that the first 2 weeks I owned it. I stripped it and did a Lake placid Blue with nitrocellulose. Seriously, my MIM strat is the best strat I've ever played. It's my baby.
I bet that looks great. I'm curious... I think you mean you stripped and refinished with a nitro lacquer top coat, over acrylic lacquer Lake Placid Blue? I ask because the Lake Placid Blue lacquer on Fenders is Lucite 2876-L, which is acrylic lacquer, not nitro. Expanding on that, all the metallic base color coats Fender has offered in lacquer, originally/past and present, were/are acrylic lacquer. The lacquer Fender solid colors--e.g. Olympic White, Sonic Blue, Fiesta Red--are Duco, which is nitro. If--because they didn't always do it, depending how busy they were--or when Fender sprayed clear top coat over the body base color that much is always nitrocellulose.
@@YTPartyTonight It's not exactly lake placid Blue. It's close as we could get with other paints. I've always liked the Lake placid Blue that is darker. Some are a little brighter color than others. So it's a certain color blue with a gray undercoat. To me it came out looking very close.
That’s funny I have a vintage 65’ strat and been trying many new fenders but to me they feel like toys more like. Not saying there isn’t good new guitars around.
@@millmoormichael6630 I agree with the new ones. Again, mine is a 2002 60s reissue. I sold a new strat that I bought because of that exact thing. It sounded OK. I hated the way it felt. There was something about this one though. Also, my pick ups have been changed out as well.
Norm, thanks for letting us in.
Love your laugh.
I am waiting for one with the original strings.
(:
now that's funny ! So am I LOL
Its Straturday 9-11-2021 So I went to our local Guitar Center I picked up a ESP Arrow and plugged it into a very nice Fender modulating amp anticipating a little fun, but then I noticed the damn thing only had 5 strings on it I looked at the salesman just a few feet from me and said This guitar has a broken E string and he looked at me and smiled and said Yes it sure does and then he turned around and walked away So I unplugged it and put it back where I found it I guess because the guitar has a Floyd with locking nut it was just too much work for him to want to fix ? It was not that busy so I went into the acoustic guitar section and grabbed a Seagull 6 string It sounded really good but I went to drop the first string it broke because the guitar was strung wrong Seriously I cant make stuff like this up lol This really happened today Its all on camera Guitar Center Sucks
By the way…Norm. Maybe next time introduce Masa to the viewing audience.
MASA!!!! :D
ok here...
Antiques Roadshow years ago...
Appraiser with the Grand Daughter of a pre CBS Strat. She wanted to know what year it was made.
Guy "Looking at this, its never been apart. There might be date on the neck but maybe not".
She went for it. Bolts 'snapping' out.
Guess what, for nothing. Wasn't marked.
Sorta soured me on the whole deal.
I wonder if he’s ever confirmed the authenticity of a guitar only to later find out it wasn’t.
easy to fake guitars

Too many issues to sell this guitar. I think you should give it to me.😉
Since it doesn't have all original screws I'd pay $200 for it right now. You guys can reach out to me if you're in the mood to take my arm off.
Looks more like buffing compoujd
That little shitty amp on his desk!! Haha
da wäre es doch effektiver einen FENDER EX- emloyee zu fragen instead an asian
Byeeee !
Why is Norm wearing a face mask on his chin? US approaches to face masks have been soooo weird throughout this, it being seen as the silver bullet and almost replacing distancing measures, but what is going on here?
All I see is an old guitar. Buy a new CS Fender and for a fraction of the cost, you get a no questions, perfect guitar. But, to each his own. 😀
If I had the money I’d get a nice vintage guitar to play in the studio or occasional jams, but I have some very, very nice guitars so I don’t really need one either. It’s really cool and I’ve played some, but it depends on what you’re using it for and what it means to you personally
Too many issues. Not worth it. I'll take it off your hands to save you guys the headache :D
This clearly show that you can pay 50k being sure that you are playing an original and it could very easily be fake. Why don’t they sort this by the way it’s tone wood sounds? Play the guitar and hear if it sounds original and vintage. Why ? Because tone wood or vintage sound does not exist. Otherwise they would use the sound of a guitar for that.
Haha! Silviu still trolling the CZcams comment sections. Remember what Tom Bukovac told you.
@@tedruybalid2262 yeah man. I can’t stand pseudoscience and all this mythology perpetuated by this people that are after our money. But the problem is that there are young guys that are mesmerized and future victims of this people. People believe everything this days. Now about Uncle L. There is no Uncle Larry video without him selling something. Is that what is all about in this world? Is it ? Calling friends people who you are always sell stuff? 🤝
マサズ イングリシュ イズ ベリ グッド。ワハハハハハハハ！🤣🤪
Oh so you can’t tell by the way it sounds if it’s original ? I thought that you pay 50K because it sounds vintage. And that old wood has a specific non reproducible sound. Crap! So you can’t tell just by listening if that sounds like old wood or not ?
The “old wood” thing is relatively “new”. They’ve run out of things to say about how much better the old guitars were. Even tho these guitars were only a couple of years old when used by all the famous players.
@@drippinglass You can cheat and use really nice pickups and modern amps to get that vintage sound but that is just my opinion. Its the feel of the neck of a fine well made instrument you cant get buying cheap guitars. Now days its hard to compete with the Chinese when it comes to electronics or else we would be making our own computer chips for cars and trucks built out of foreign made parts produced here in the USA
@@pissonguitarcenter8204 I got a CS 1955 reissue. It has a Nocaster U neck. It feels great! And it has a 9.5” radius with jumbo 6100 frets.
@@drippinglass love jumbo frets
